This invention relates to ti'ash burners, which.y are. particularly adapted'v for use in dwellings or other buildings foryburning household or other refuse, suoli as waste paper and the -like` accumulations. y

One of the obJects is to provide a novel arrangement for an ash trayto facilitate pi'operco'iiibiistion and clean coinpleteburning of trash. The invention also includes other objects and advantages as appear fromA the following detailed description and appended claims reference being had to the accompanying drawing, wherein like symbols refer to like or corresponding parts throughout the several views.

In the drawing, Figure 1 isa view of the burner in longitudinalI section. Figure 2` is sectional view of the same 'on line 2 2 of Figure 1 the cover being omitted. Figure 3 is a plan view of a drawer. Figure 4l is a perspective broken away view of the `device, the cover and the door for the drawer being omitted.

Referring now particularly to thedrawingl provide a casing 10 which is preferably iniperforate except the apertures in the top kto provide near its rear end a collar 11 upon which a smoke pipe (not shown) Vmay be mounted and a collar 12 near its front for a cover 13, an aperture also being provided in the front wall of the casing at its bottom for receiving a drawer 14.

l `While the casing and drawer are of rectangular form in plan and elevation, this form being preferred on account of con# venience and economy in manufacture, they may of course have other forms.r

, The drawer 14; is of such proportions that l .it may have free Asliding,movementsfon the bottom of the casing for removal or to be placed therein, and is adapted to approxi` mately fill the lower part .ofthe casing. Numeral 15 indicates a bail for the drawer for use when it becomes necessary rto empty ashes therefrom. f 4

In order to facilitate'coinbustion I provide a compartment in the drawer having sides 16 extending downwardly convergent from its upper open top and provided with perforations or draft-apertures 17, the bottom 18v ot saidcoinpartment being also provided.

with peiforations or apertures 19. The rear part of the compartment preferably has a greater depth than its front part, said bot-l tom being inclined upwardly ,and A,forwardA fly toits front end. 1.1i I s n The-"front endoffthe,drawer'vis provided with an air intake opening' 20', best :shown in 'F' gure 4, and .meansof a draft damper 21 suitably mounted onY the drawer the intake oit air tothe drawer and to its coinpartment may be under Control.

As thus described, operation will be understood. After the cover is-removed to per-A mit refuse to be deposited Jfor incineration, said refuse will be contained in the coInpart--` ment, delectingplates 2.2 beingjmounted on the inner sides of the casing to' prevent any refuse from reaching the ash-pit '23, ,belowY said compartment, and on account of the construction as described it will be seenthatincineration will be aided, not only bythe perforated walls. 16 and 18 of the compartment, but by the shape ofv the chamber or` ash-pit 23 which, as best shown in Figure 2, is of flaringformboth upwardly and rearf wardly vfrom the front wall of the drawer.

l It will be appreciated thatrefusetoy beburned is often wet or moist, and since complete coinbusti-on is desired, an incinerator should be of such construction thata Vfree movement cfa-ir be provided, and thaththe refuse be completely separated from the ashes and supported so that. for the most part, it will be exposed to the air, and in the presentinstan'ce air mayv move vfreely to the sidesas well `as the Vbottom yof the compartment.
